Fitting 2D gaussian in a root plot

Hi,
I need to fit a 2D gaussian in my plot. I need to fit three ellipses with sigma, 2 sigma and 3 sigma values of a gaussian fit. Since it is difficult for me to write up everything in words, I have attached the picture of my plot…the code i wrote to fit 2d gaussian function… and my expected plot.

[code]
using namespace std;

// DEFINE 2D GAUSSIAN

Double_t g2(Double_t *x, Double_t *par) {
Double_t r1 = Double_t((x[0]-par[1]));
Double_t r2 = Double_t((x[1]-par[3]));
return par[0]*TMath::Exp(-(par[2]r1r1+par[4]r2r2+par[5]r1r2));
}

//another one:
Double_t G2_662(Double_t *X662, Double_t *Par662) {
     Double_t A = pow(cos(Par662[1]),2)/2/pow(Par662[2],2) + pow(sin(Par662[1]),2)/2/pow(Par662[3],2);
     Double_t B = -sin(2*Par662[1])/4/pow(Par662[2],2) + sin(2*Par662[1])/4/pow(Par662[3],2) ;
     Double_t C = pow(sin(Par662[1]),2)/2/pow(Par662[2],2) + pow(cos(Par662[1]),2)/2/pow(Par662[3],2);
     return Par662[0]*exp(-(A*pow((X662[0]-Par662[4]),2) + 2*B*(X662[0]-Par662[4])*(X662[1]-Par662[5]) + C*pow((X662[1]-Par662[5]),2))) ;
}

My plot without gaussian fit:



my expected plot after fitting 2d gaussian function:


Using the above given parameters of sigmaX, sigma Y, meanX, meanY, I am still unable to get a correct fit for the plot. My code is long, but still could you please go through it and correct me if i am wrong?

Thank you in advance!

The I run your macro the tree “T1” is not defined.

Could pls tell me if my code is correct?

It looks like … but it depends what you mean by “correct”…
It is difficult to tell anything without running it …

Can you post the result of your fit that is printed in terminal?

As you have a lot of parameters, you should maybe add parameter limits

Check docu:
root.cern.ch/doc/master/classTH … 89eb23fb2a

By the way, you used fit option “O” instead of option “0” (zero). I guess you meant zero. I do not find an option “O” root.cern.ch/root/htmldoc/guide … grams.html

Do you want to draw the fit or not? Check about options N and 0?

couet, I suggest adding a sanity check, i.e. to add a warning if someone uses an “O”, asking if he meant “0”. Here:
root.cern.ch/doc/master/HFitImp … tml#l00765

If you have the latest version of ROOT, you do not need to define the gaussian 2D equation by yourself, there is a predefined one:

bigaus

See 2-D Gaussian fit to a data file

I’ll tell Lorenzo, who is in charge of this code, to look at your suggestion.
